Monitoring Activities

The General Medical Council has the statutory responsibility to set standards for basic medical education and to ensure that these standards are met.

Each year the GMC asks the School to complete a Medical School Annual Return (MSAR) to feed in to their Quality Assurance of Basic Medical Education (QABME) processes.

In 2012-13, as well as providing the MSAR, UCLMS was part of the GMCs regional review of London. The visit took place in November 2012 and the resulting report will be published here once it has been finalised. Several areas of good practice were identified and no serious concers were reported.
